The ceremony took place outside on the lawn, with splendid views of  The Rocky Mountains behind them.  It was a picture perfect day with no rain in sight.  The ceremony was short and sweet.  After Tiffany and Joe signed their legal documents, they did their patented kiss in front of all the guest which drew cheers and applause.   After the ceremony we took photos of the wedding party on site and soon after that, we whisked Tiffany and Joe away for their photos at Vermillion Lakes, which of course was stunning!

When we got back to the Rimrock, it was time for the tea ceremony which was pretty quick and then it was party time!  Our digital Calgary photo booth, the Hoot Booth once again made at an appearance at this wedding and the guests were using it all night non stop.

Thank you Tiffany and Joe for trusting us with your big day.  I now see why you chose the Rimrock for your wedding.   It was spectacular!  Congratulations!

The wedding ceremony and reception was held in Mount Stephen Hall at the Banff Springs Hotel.  It was fabulously decorated by Angie Spencer and her crew at Get Married in Banff, who also did all the planning for Stella and Jackson.  They did an amazing job and we would never hesitate to recommend Angie and her crew.  The ceremony was really good and emotional for the both of them.  Jackson even wrote his vows in the sports section of a newspaper which drew laughs from many in the room, but tears from Stella.  The good tears.  After the quick ceremony, we were off to shoot the fun stuff.

Our first stop was Lake Minnewanka, which offered stunning vistas.  We worked that area as much as we could then we went for a drive down the road to find more secluded places in the woods to shoot. Once we did as much as we could outside, I wanted to head back to the Banff Springs and take advantage of the beauty the hotel had to offer.

When we got back to the hotel, we entered Mount Stephen Hall again to find it transformed into a reception hall that Angie Spencer and her crew worked tirelessly on.  The grandness of it was just a magnificent treat to the eyes.  As the night went on, the Stella and Jackson and their guests partied like it was 1999.

Calgary’s newest digital photo booth the Hoot Booth made another appearance on this night.  Many of the guests, including the bride and groom, said that the Hoot Booth was the best part of the night for them.  S&J were so thrilled to have so many fun photos of their friends that they even said the next time they have a house party, they want the Hoot Booth there!  Looking at the photos, you can see why!

Congratulations Stella & Jackson.  Ryan and I are very honored to have been your Banff wedding photographers and be a big part of your wedding day.  Your love for each other is inspiring and you guys look so good with each other.  I am thrilled you love your photos as much as I do and I look forward to coming over to help you put on art pieces of you guys on your wall.  Thank you for being a part of our lives with your kindness, sincerity and enthusiasm.

My biggest thanks goes out to all my wonderful and amazing clients.  I am truly honoured to have been chosen to photograph such an important event in your lives and to be a part of it.  I really hope you will cherish all the wonderful images we made together, for all eternity.  I know I will!

Once I finished the last wedding of the season, I couldn’t wait to get started on my yearbook and this slide show.  My book hasn’t arrived yet, but when it does, I’ll be sure to share that with you all.  But for now, here are the images that made it in the book in a slide show presentation.  It was hard to narrow it down to 140 images, out the tens of thousands that I shot last year, but I did it.  Well, what are you waiting for???  Hit play!
